MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

On this date of April 19th, but back in 1998…
it was Album Eve…
for Massive Attack’s
Mezzanine.

(Music Cut #2)

That iconic cover…
it’s black stag beetle.

That’s real.

The band brought in an actual beetle…
and spent days photographing it up close.

But that wasn’t the original idea.

They wanted to use…
a human skin graft for the cover

Thankfully, the label stepped in.

And… beetle was the winner.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“I caught your radio waves
With a tin can and string
Say you string me along
Say inertia creeps.” – Massive Attack “Inertia Creeps”
